Collecting, Organizing and Presenting Evidence
Four keys to ensuring that collecting and organizing evidence supports student learning in your classroom:
Keep the process simple.
Involve students in being responsible for the evidence.
Include more than written work as evidence.
Help students and parents understand why the evidence is important.
Communicating about Learning
Four parts to successful communication about learning:
Students collect and prepare evidence of learning.
Students show or demonstrate their learning.
Parents respond to students.
Feedback supports ongoing learning.
Evaluating and Reporting
Evaluating and reporting requires professional judgment in response to the following four issues:
What does the student know, what is she or he able to do, and what can she or he articulate?
What areas require further attention or development?
In what ways can the student's learning be supported?
How is the student progressing in relation to the standards or development for students in a similar age range?
Learning by Ourselves and with Others
When we learn together, we share experiences that help us understand our thinking. This helps us grow and develop at our own pace... As members of a learning group, we can access the support we need to take risks, or to prevent us from leaping without a parachute.

This concentration on the medium itself, and how it conveys information- rather than on the specific content of the information- is the issue.
